Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense, confused; themes: conflict, confusion, intimacy; style notes: close framing on two characters in a dimly lit bedroom; high-contrast lighting typical of 1930s cinema

A man in a robe leans over a person lying in bed, then sits up and looks at them; the transcript includes fragmented dialogue about being 'done' and confusion over 'Where's I?'. No names are spoken, and no objects beyond the bed and robe are clearly identifiable.

“How'd I get this mouse?” 8:54 · “Oh, I don't know. I was done with you.” 8:57 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
